| 5 | 28.03.2024 | Alons8hasaBrokenBack | 6.0 | JBL, Bradshaw, whatever You want to call him. He Is the definition of a weird career. He has charisma , he was not good backstage, and his in-ring work isn't bad. But damn, he was pushed too much. Gimnicks super weird, but not outrageous. As a Color-Com, he Is mediocre with some decent work in his early years. He just confuses me. |

| 7 | 11.03.2024 | Connorstubbs12 | 2.0 | character yes. JBL gimmick did what it was supposed to do however his in ring work as a single star is pretty lackluster. The fact how WWE pushed him as a top guy really is confusing considering in my eyes he's always a mid-carder. His stuff in the APA was solid however as an in-ring worker he really just was used and viewed as a WWE ripoff of All Japan's big gaijin man that is 'Stan Hansen' and as said that style of work was definitely not appreciated the same mid 2000s when WWE had seemingly everyone and I just feel like there was better wrestlers in ring that could have surpassed JBL in his role |

| 10 | 03.03.2024 | TripleCrown | 4.0 | The wish version of Stan Hansen. The only thing I'll give him credit for is reinventing his career with the JBL gimmick. Although, he was more charismatic as Bradshaw than he was as JBL. Arguably his best run was as Bradshaw in the APA, way more likeable and fun to watch during those times. |

It's not just the anti-ECW/indie stuff; if JBL was around today doing his border shit, Twitter would melt. Still, beyond boring in the ring and a real asshole backstage. |

| 21 | 31.12.2023 | MaximilianBerner | 9.0 | JBL ist DER ausschlaggebende Grund dafür, dass ein damals 12 jähriger Junge beim durchzappen auf TELE5 hängen geblieben ist und zum Wrestlingfan fürs Leben wurde. Je mehr Zeit ins Land geht desto bewuster wird einem wie gut JBL sein Gimmick verkörpert hat, vermutlich auch weil sein Heel Gimmick damals eine überspitzte Form seiner real life Persona war. Ich möchte dabei stellvertretend die Promo "in his own words" erwähnen. Nahezu jeder Satz dieser Promo kam direkt aus dem Herzen und brannte ihm auf der Seele. Sein Mic Work war unschlagbar, dazu immer die passende Körpersprache & die passenden Auftritte mit und ohne sein Cabinet. Damals wie heute einfach ein unglaublich vielseitiger und glaubwürdiger Heel der immer wusste womit er das örtliche Publikum kitzeln musste um die Halle gegen sich zu bekommen. Seine 279 tägige Titelregentschaft war durchdacht, gut gebucht und immer spannend. Bei Fehden gegen jeden damaligen Top Star des Smackdown Rosters ging er stets als Aussenseiter ins Match und hatte alle Erwartungen gegen sich, von Monat zu Monat dachte man es sei Endstation und bei jedem PPV wunderte man sich am Ende wie der "Survivor" John Bradshaw Layfield es nun wieder geschafft hatte zu überleben. Spätestens ab dem Fatal 4 Way bei Armageddon gegen Booker T, Eddie Guerrero & den Undertaker waren alle Fans stets fassungslos wenn es hiess "...your winner and stiiiiiiiill WWE Champion..." Er war der perfekte Heel um John Cena over zu bringen, zur damaligen Zeit der genaue Counterpart von Cena. Ohne diesen JBL hätte die Karriere von John Cena niemals so perfekt Fahrt aufgenommen. Ein Heel Veteran als Sprungbrett für einen Rookie/Rising Star. Gegen Ende bzw nach seiner aktiven Zeit im Ring war er ein erstklassiker Kommentator, seine Stimme & Emotionen hievten manche Matches auf ein anderes Level, beispielsweiße leistete sein Kommentar einen enormen Beitrag dazu King Bookers Gimmick glaubwürdig erscheinen und funktionieren zu lassen. Wünschenswert wäre natürlich eines Tages noch ein DVD Set über eines der treuesten und unterhaltsamsten Mitgliedern der WWE Familie, mit den besten Momenten seiner Titelregentschaft, Promos und jahrzehnte langen Karriere vor und hinter den Kameras. |

| 23 | 18.12.2023 | Peeranha John | 9.0 | Let me preface this by saying: Yes. I agree, John Layfield the person is horrible. What he did behind closed doors to his coworkers was awful, and never would I ever dream of condoning something like that. However, strictly speaking as an in-ring talent, he might be one of my favorites of all time. Hard-hitting, no-nonsense, and able to roll with the comedy if need be; JBL is one of my favorite bastard heels with one of my favorite finishers ever. The Clothesline from Hell was a marvel, because he could make it look good against anyone, regardless of if they were 150 pounds, or 500. |

| 26 | 04.12.2023 | crs285 | 5.0 | JBL is an interesting person in pro wrestling. He had a up and down career from great things like his world title run and the APA to times when he was just a jobber. He was a good brawler in the ring and could play a character well. Didn't like him as a commentator. He also was apparently a horrible person backstage with his bully running rampant. |

| 28 | 17.11.2023 | JediSaiyanMaster1203 | 8.0 | Whether he's a member of APA or being the longest reigning WWE Champion in SmackDown history (at least, at the time, assuming he's been surpassed), I've always liked Bradshaw. While he may not be perfect, I've always enjoyed his tag team days with Faarooq in APA and his heel work in the Ruthless Aggression Era, really love his "Clothesline" from Hell finisher, I even enjoyed his commentary work. His stuff in the 2000s was his best, while his stuff in the 2010s is in the "so bad, it's good" category for me. Overall, a good worker who got more than most people would have expected, but no doubt that he was a good hand. |

| 33 | 27.10.2023 | benny5bellys | 6.0 | Was he a piece of shit backstage? Absolutely but unfortunately half of my faves are wankers. Pre APA, Bradshaw is a whole load of nothing but the skits as part of the APA were very fun for their time and got them over big. The JBL stuff was fine and he had a few good bloodbaths but him being on top really just showed how few stars that the WWF had in the period. |
| 34 | 21.10.2023 | yvonnelikeswrestling | 6.0 | amazing gimmicks and finishers. he is a perfect heel but he is just a bully. He would stiffen up and genuinely try to hurt people he didnt like and the whole fiasco with the miz and benoit. I like what he did with the APA. I like what he did with the cowboy gimmick. But he is just a bully plain and simple. The clothesline from hell tho. really good |

| 47 | 10.09.2023 | GoldLiger | 3.0 | One good run on top with a great gimmick that was mostly good for the promos and not the matches doesn't mean his career wasn't mostly trash. In the APA he made a living out of stiffing people, as JBL the WWE Champion he had some great heel promos but only ever backed it up with good matches twice (vs Eddie & vs Cena, both times having the babyface bleed a gallon just to get it over), as a commentator he was obnoxious 9 times out of 10, and I don't think I've heard a positive thing about him as a person behind the character. The only good thing you can really say about him in retrospect is that he was the guy who first put over Cena as a main event guy during a time where WWE had very few real main event guys around. |

| 52 | 11.07.2023 | BigDave123 | 9.0 | Brawler Bradshaw was average in WWE but once the JBL character was born he was one of the best heels in the business. Knew how to be a heel and generate heat without it being "go away heat" and it's a lost art in modern wrestling where heels are more focused on being "cool" |
| 53 | 06.07.2023 | bigredtalk89 | 6.0 | An average brawler who benefitted from sticking around long enough to get a shot at being a main eventer during a down time in the WWE, he did make the most of his character work and, for the most part, did well with a lengthy title reign. There were better people for the job, but I can't say he shit the bed. |

| 67 | 10.04.2023 | 5GumGuy | | JBL is without a doubt one of the greatest heels in not just WWE history, but professional-wrestling history. He is the definition of an old school heel because he plays his role to a tee. On top of being a terrific promo and being one of the greatest powerhouses ever, this man has also had a great run with the WWE Championship. Before all of that, he had a great run in the Acolytes Protection Agency (APA) w/ Faarooq, in which their segments in the Attitude Era were classics almost every week. He also had some great matches with the likes of Eddie Guerrero and John Cena, which are some of the best matches in not only JBL's career but in the WWE as well. Overall, John "Bradshaw" Layfield is a terrific worker and should be an example of how to be a real deal heel, because he's done it better than most. |
| 68 | 07.04.2023 | CMmox | 7.0 | |
| 69 | 06.04.2023 | winston | 4.0 | A decent worker with a hard-hitting style who only realised his full potential right at the very end of his career. His dedication to his craft, both in keeping himself fit, and committing to reinventing himself deserve credit, and he earned his rewards through a lengthy championship run. Unfortunately he was equally dedicated to being a trash human being who spread misery and fear amongst his co-workers. Based on numerous accounts, any company or locker room that had John Layfield as a part of it was a worse place because of his prescence. He's supposed to be somewhat of a reformed character now, but I've yet to see him own up to, acknowledge or apologise for the widespread allegations of abusive behaviour. |

| 71 | 03.03.2023 | greaterdale | 3.0 | I think JBL is just dreadful. Besides being a terrible person and a shoot bully I honestly think his matches were really bad, his clothes line from hell that so many people like is just clobbering his opponent so it looks "better" like jesus christ is it really worth it? and most of heat from his JBL gimmick was just him saying racist fucked up shit for problematic heat that he probably actually believes in real life. As an announcer is a straight 0/10. he gets a 3 for the APA stuff and somehow getting a world title run. |

Unfortunately, JBL behaved in the back like a complete idiot, for whom bullying others was a kind of entertainment. Because of him, Mauro Ranallo gave up his further career in the WWE. I think his last match of his career against Rey Mysterio at WM25 was the perfect culmination of his wrestling adventure - a quick, embarrassing defeat. |

His 2004 - 2006 run was terrific. He didn't have classic matches week after week, his only all time classics are probably with Eddie and Cena, but if we talk about his promos...man. Top 3 mic talker in WWE history in my book. |

| 91 | 16.09.2022 | Flame233 | 8.0 | This guy is perhaps the greatest heel in WWE history. He does not look like a wrestler, and that is what made him so special. I cannot possibly imagine a guy running a gimmick similar to his today, and getting the Main Gold, and yet he did and it was great. That being said I really don't think he is/was a great comentator, and I heard some bad things about his behaviour backstage, although I try to take those rummors with a pinch of salt. Hope to see him as a manager someday, I think he would be great in that role. |

| 94 | 07.09.2022 | MMSuperBoyo | 7.0 | One of the best heels ever. Always knew how to piss the fans off, no matter what he was doing. Average ring skills but his heel work was amazing. Very good mic skills too. Not a good human in real life though. A very hard hitter. |
| 95 | 31.08.2022 | Matthew23claw | 7.0 | |
| 96 | 26.08.2022 | Conquistador37 | 4.0 | His career up to a certain point is mildly enjoyable. I feel he was the right man in the right place at the right time for Global, I appreciated his early WWF run because he was less cartoony than most at the time. The Blackjacks were a good team and it's a bummer the pairing did not last (it worked for me more than most haha). His career peak was unquestionably the team with Ron Simmons. This has EVERYTHING to do with my endless adoration for all things Ron Simmons. As obvious, I had no real problems with his whole career ...uuuntil that singles heel push, which gets a giant NO from me. Deeply dreadful and off putting. I am not a fan of some jerk goose stomping in Germany, beyond stupid and just the worst damn thing to even think to do and...sorry, trying to stay on the rails here. His garbage personality began to leak into his professional career enough to affect a huge chunk of his work I feel. But the good is inoffensive enough for me to give him a less scathing review that what was here before. 4.25 rounded down. |
